Show HN: Flipflop, Iroh-powered persistent tunnels for filesharing

Establish a trusted tunnel between two or more devices: from that point on one can send files to the other anytime.

It works through bluetooth, LAN or even through the wild internet. It uses Iroh.

Use it to share stuff between all your devices, and maybe devices of your family members, in the same household or afar, sharing links, plain text, anything.

flipflop on the desktop

Get the latest Linux, macOS and Windows builds and the Android APK from the releases page.

On Windows, you can either run the executable direclty or use the -setup.exe installer. Because Microsoft hates the world, they will show a "Windows protected your PC" warning when you try.

Because Apple hates the world even more, I can't publish it for iOS.
